    Hey Katie! Regarding the light banding issue, it’s definitely the lights you’re using, not your camera. Some LED lights use low frequency circuitry and this creates this banding or flickering effect. Usually more expensive lights use a much higher frequency driver and this way there is no flickering or banding. One thing you can try doing is changing the shutter speed on your camera, if this doesn’t help though, you need new lights unfortunately 🥲 Love your content! ❤

    I’ve been going FULL force on my editing (I would say really good at it after doing it for 14 years), titling, and thumbnails for the last couple of months and it still feels like my channel is dead.

    I want to pivot so badly from a cooking channel, but having cookbooks and cookie mix as my products makes it hard. I've been doing this for 12 years and I'm so burned out. I don't make enough to even buy the ingredients to make the dishes. I truly wish someone would teach us how to be able to figure out when and if brand offers are legit. They always seem so scammie to me. Also no one offers money, just free product. I'd would like a lesson on how to negotiate a contract with a brand. I'm one of those people that can't stand any music in the background when it's a talking head video no matter what the music is.

  • @meadowsandmountain
    @meadowsandmountain 7 місяців тому

    Hey Katie! I have three tips regarding the light banding (you've probably already tried these but thought I would share anyway. Here's what works best for me:
    - Adjusting my shutter speed (1/100 works best for me in Europe)
    - Changing between NTSC and PAL (two types of color encoding systems) in the settings of my SONY ZV-1. That does however require reformatting my card every time. Some say NTSC works best in America and PAL best in Europe, but I find it depends highly on the devices/lights I want to record. I can film my phone screen best without flickering on NTSC but have to switch to PAL if I want to record my fridge for example. So it's a good idea to do some testing.
    - Another tip: CapCut has a nice feature that lets you remove flickers. It's not 100% perfect, but it vastly improves the image quality!

  • @awells88

    I think the banding issue is due to the shutter speed of the camera in conjunction with how fast the LEDs flash in the apartment. I've found a shutter speed of 1/80 fixed my issues and I adjusted the ISO and FStop accordingly to get the right brightness.

    • @katie
      @katie  7 місяців тому

      problem is even at 1/30 there is still slight banding and at that shutter speed the motion blur makes it unusable. it's not something I can fix with shutter speed 🙈

    @MatsuXL 7 місяців тому

    Hey Katie love your channel - the banding has to do with the lights, not the camera. Most cheaper lights and LEDS pulse at a frequency rate that doesnt match with your shutter speed and this causes that affect! So don't worry about the camera being messed up or anything 😄 It's def the lights fault.

  • @honestlyDavey
    @honestlyDavey 7 місяців тому
